Advice on casual work required

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

In Gosport?

In Hampshire. Obviously. There's a fair few Fruit Farms within a ten mile radius of Gosport according to Google. Would need some form of transport tho.

There's usually a few such exhortations to be found in The Argus comments section

Somewhere I've not ventured in a long time.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

You know a fair bit about these things. I know nothing.

I appreciate it's a different mental area but the missus used to be a care worker for people with learning disabilities and supporting them to find suitable part time work for her clients was something she used to do. I'll have a chat and PM you.

HT's Missus will know what I mean. She'll be able to point things in the right direction.

I did just Google it and these appear to be the people for Sussex, though it does look like you've got to be referred by a mental health team to them - https://www.southdown.org/mental-health-recovery/our-employment-support

He could try an employment agency and just tell them he wants casual work. Then they just ring him when they need someone here and there for the day. He's under no obligation to take it or commit to any set days or hours, the choice is entirely his depending on his mental state at the time. Sometimes they have opportunities for twilight shifts in factories which is usually only about 4 hours. Again he doesn't have to commit to that ongoing but just as a filler when people are off sick or when they're busy.As long as he doesn't let them down when he does accept work they'll probably be happy to keep using him on that basis

I'm aware its paid work he needs but as already suggested a few hours in a charity shop might help build up confidence and mental well being,also makes you more employable,paper round/rounds(not joking for few extra quid) Good luck to the fella
